firstly, we have to give an introduction..
in introduction, show...
- What is the type of the graph shown?
- What is the data?
- What are the units of measurement used in the graph?
- Is there a period of time?
next we have to give an overview...
in overview, give a summary of the graph...
in the body ... describe all the details....!
- High/low values
- Biggest increase/decrease
- Volatile data
- Unchanging data
- Biggest majority/ minority (pie charts)
- Biggest difference/similarities
- Major trends
- Notable exceptions
